A EERIER OF REMARKABLE ADVEN. TERM& By QUttri, It wos ,my great-grandiatinir, rthijith Quill, mariner, who related thks• extraordinary story one evening to a circle of his friends iu the bar room of the Eagle Dote!, Darby. Abijah Quill, any great-grandfather, was a wan of honor, and there can be no doubt that his stateinents are strictly true. lily great-grandfather had a white oak leg; recollect that. You understand," said • he, " that about fifty years ago, 1 was a sailor orl board of the bark 'Sally Straddles,' which was cruising around in the Indian Ocean trying to find her way back to the United States of America. Well, you know, we kept fooling ..around .and going nowhere in particular for thaw or foul• weeks, sometimes taking a hurricane, and a ()mobiles a dead calni, for a change, and nothing happening to make things lively. One day, however, white the captain was sitting in Lis cabin ciphering' out the-exact extent 'of his individual capacity as a whisky absorber r all of a sudden he heard a thundering, 'knock on the bottom of the ship." " Come in," says he. But nobody appeared; so,' after waiting a bit, he makes an observation of the skylight through the bottom of his tumbler, and says: "All right; stay out then." This skipper, you understand, was .a man who was easily satisfied. You couldn't bother him much. But in about twenty minutes in comes the mate and makes the remark that the captain bad better come down in the bold, as there was something very queer sticking •up through the planks. So the captain and he went down, and there was the bill of a sword-fish, about four feet long, fast in the planks. Nobody knew what it was, and the captain said : " Very singular; who rammed this thing in here 1”' . 6, What's the good of it, anyway ?" .asks the mate. "shiver my timbers if I know," says the Captain. "It might do to open oysters on," suggested the mate. ' • ",les' so," says the captain; "we'•ll.go fishing for oysters to open on it to-morrow." With that the captain walked off, and ntf body paid any more attention to it. Three or four days afterwards the mate went to the captain, and sayS he : "Cap., don't you notice that the water's nearly up to our bulwarks?" "Yes," says the captain ; "I wonder what's the reason." "Perhaps there's an extra high tide to-day," suggested the mate. "Or maybe t.heie's been a freshet some where," said the Captain. "It may be that the ship's leaking," put in the mate. "So it may. I never thought of that," said the captain. Sure enough that ship had been leaking at the rate of a barrel a minute ever since the sword-fish struck her, and the captain hadn't more than got the words out of his mouth be fore she foundered, and went down with every soul on board but me, who just had time to jump into the jolly boat and row off. And so there 1 was on the raging ocean in an open boat, and didn't know which way to go. But I didn't care a cent, and I just hoisted the sail, and laid down and went to 'sleep, deter mined to let her rip which ever way she pleased. I was waked by the shock made by the boat striking against something. I got up and looked over, and there was a sand bank just three feet long and two and a-half feet wide. I disembarked immediately, and made myself AB much at home as if I hadn't been in a strange land. After thinking awhile I made up my mind that I had got to live there, and I might as well he comfortable. Sol just took my hatchet and knocked the boat to pieces. Then I built a first-rate boitse out, of the planks, and felt as snug as yon please. • , : My residence here had some disadvantages. In the first place, there was not much room to take a stroll, and then there didn't seem much chance to go into agriculture to any great ex tent. However, there I was, and so I didn't grumble about the inconveniences. I deter mined, to sell the old island out to the United titates uf America the very first chance I got, too I sttifeyed it, and drew out a map of it,with 'all the physical peculiarities of the place marked upon it.. And then I got up a government of my own, and when election day came around I went and voted like a good citizen, and was never challenged once. Occasionally I would bold a mammoth mass-meeting .of all the patriots on the Island, and once I tried my all fired best to get up a political riot,but it proved, a failure. I did, however, make several first,- class speeches, in which I alluded to the threatened destruction of our free institutions, and called upon the whole population to rally to the .defence of their liberties. And then I always rallied to the defence of my liberties. I declared war once, but it didn't seem to take. But .one day, while in the midst of making a fervidmrationott the nuances; - a - waterspout happened to come along, and the first thing I knew I was in its grip, whirling and tossing about one hundred feet In the air. I must have traveled in immense distance, for when I began to.come down I saw I was right over a splendid, , fertile country.. I fell. ' Hight underneath me were a parcel of Inn doos, dressed in half a yard of muslin apiece, all standing around a chief, who was letting himself out in a war dance. It so happened that 1 tumbled right on top of the old boy's skull, dashed his brains out, and reduced him to an inanimate clod in less than a minute. All the otber heathens they thought I was one of their gods, because 1 apparently came out. of the oks,.and so they all stood around in a ring, and begunl bowing to me -46 Good morning," said I, thinking they only meant to be polite. Still they nodded. •' Yes, it is pleasant . weather," I said, not - understanding them. Then they ,nodded larder. " Thank you, Nery well ; how are -you?" And their heads bowed. more than ever. " Excuse me, did youtspeak ?" I . said to one gray-haired old cannibal in a pocket-haudker ishief and wristbands. 'No use. They kept on bowing. Then I tw), to understand that they were.avorship ling, the, so I put on a few ,airs that I, thought might be becoming ht a papn deity, and strut ting about, I belted three or ,four of them overthe frontispiece with a dub. Theyseemed to enjoy it. , '• too I went up to the sacred dwelling-house, and tazde myself a good deal at home ;for aboutilx months. - - Youlve no ideawhat a first-class - Brahmx..l make atixan• I start out to try.

I think- not this. mOrnifig. : The., neble pagan god feels na if it 'wouldn't . agree with him." "Our gracious!" said they, "you must do something or.other.

"if 1 do, hang inc.., Yon must think I'm a jackass, don't yon,?" said 1, for 1 felt mad. " This will never do," said the priests, "let us seize Lim anti throw him into the river, so as the sacred alligator can thaw him up." So they grabbed me, and took me down to . the river, and heaved me overboard.. But I kicked so that the sacred' crocodile go scared, and never touched inn. So I lust swam across and seized a boat, and sailed out to sea, determined to leave that benighted heathen lafid forever ! ' All went well , enongh 'for seveial months,durL ing which time I lived on fish and • drank rain water, until one day, when just within sight of land, 1 was lying down in the thwart of the boat dabbling my toes in the water. The first thing 1 knew a shark.sbot up, clapped his jaws onto my wooden leg,:and hauled me rout of the boat into the ocean before I had time to think. 1 soon found that the fish bad jammed his teeth into the oak wood so tight that he couldn't get them out again.. • - . . So 1 had'that tild'shark right,' Of comae. He pulled one way and I pulled the other, but I was the stronger, and in a short time I landed him high and dry on the beach. While I was busy unhinging his jaws, who should come along but a squatty littte man who says, says he : " Trliwtiptg dggnypp trmll." " Yes, I am rather:wet,", says I, thinking I might venture almost auy remark on an ob servation like that. " Gwrillnpg dbllngx whnt," he said, with a serene smile. " I believe not," says I, "I am rather too tired for that."

I'll take ruin and sugar with the chill Then the man in despair pulls a school atlas out of his vest pocket, and points to the map of Great Britain. I understood it right away. I was in Wales, and that was the reason he never used any vowels inlis conversation. And this fellow, you knoW; treated me all right, and sent me to Liverpool, where I got on board a ship and came home, and here I am. "And: -now," says my great-grandfather, " you take I"' " BUFFALO BILL." How Ile was Killed. [From the White Vine News.] Levi . ,laizel was buried at Eureka, Wednes day afternoon. The particulars of his death, given in the News yesterday morning, were in correct in some respects, and the story of the tragedy partakes of the comic. It seems that Buffalo Bill (although his own name. was Levi) "had a partner.' This partner (whose name we have been unable to learn) and Bill had followed the Flying Dutchman from, the termination of the trial fbi the right of pos-' session of the wagon on Tuesday morning until the shooting took place in the afternoon. In the afternoon the Dutchman drove up in front of a saloon in which Bill and his partner were drinking, when the pair came out and de manded a mule from his team. The de mand was refused when Bill's partner drew a six-shooter and " welit " for the Dutchman, who took to his heels, his own pistol being inside the wagon, near the back end. Pursued and pursuer., dashed around-the wagon a few times, when the Dutchman flew the track and ran into a saloon. Bill and his partner, having now a clear held, went to work taking the mule out of the harness. While they were thus engaged, the Dutchman slipped out of the saloon, got to the back of the wagon, and was just getting hold of his pistol when partner discovered him. The partner darted for him again, thinking to have another race; but just as he turned around the hind wheel of the wagon, pistol in band, the Dutch nntn let him have it in the arm, and his pistol dropped. A crowd rushed out and seized the wounded man, leaving the Dutchman free,who then ordered Bill away from the mule. Bill Stepped back live or six iteps,when everything be came quiet. During this lullthe Dutchman "got his mad up," as only a'Duteliman can, and; feeling that he had not given sufficient vent to his pent-up wrath, he stepped up to one of his own mules and dealt him a blow on the hind quarter with the six-shooter. The weapon glanced, and just as the muzzle came in con tact with tbe Dutchman's abdomen, the charge exploded, the powder burning a large black list across his abdomen, the ball passing through hiS clothes and striking Butlalo Bill just above the heart. Bill stood motionless for a _moment, with an., expression- -of - - intense" agony on his countenance, then clasped one band upon his breast, and sank upon one knee, then upon the other, leaned to one side, and fell over dead. Some of his friends rushed for the body and seized his feet, but it was too late—he died with his boots on. A Theatrical Bore. Our attention is frequently called to un fledged readers and amateur players, whom we are requested to bear and see and frequently praise. These persons usually appear in en tertainments which are given for the cause of charity, and which, therefore, are not the 'proper subjects of criticism; for charity is one, of the noblest of causes, and all defects should be overlooked in work that is done hilts be half. To invite critical consideration under such circumstances is to act with 'equal justice and presumption. We desire to protest against being victimized in this manner. if young ladies and gentlemen, lit-. terly incompetent to read and to act, will persist in making themselves ridiculous before their acquaintances, it would seem to be pru dent for• them to do so without challenging the attention of the press. Humility is a virtue. We commend it to the boys and girls who think that their souls are on fire with the genius of Kean and Siddons. Experiments • in acting, flourish best in obscurity. To put a hump on your back and call yourself "Richard" is-not to play the part. The ability to act' is very rare. The desire to act'is very common. And the ability and desire are not identiCal. Young persons who mistake in themselves the • latter for the fernier make one of •the saddest of all mistakes. That mistake, we have reason to know, is often made, and• is .far too often encouraged by the injudicious praise' of partial . friends. The results, likewise, we 'have frequently observed.; a warped character; a broken career;, bitter brooding over unful filled ambition on the one hand, or the dotoivms life of a stage "stick," on the other. The alternative is not inviting, and we, for our part, shall certainly decline to help anybody into 13 nch a dilemma. Resides, we have to see and tolerate bad acting enough on the regular stage, :without enduring the callow incompe, item of young ladies and gentlemen, to whoni 'dean ds . and feet are an unmanageable burden, and who move about before the footlights in spasms either of lndicrons terror or still more inilierons IVOlrkei AtlitiPonied 'to Wycliffe.

Natwoo s ,in Hancock. county, Illinois. Since the proposition to remove the National Capital to this place was made, it has suddenly grown to be a place of some import - mace to those who would locate the headquar. tors of the Government upon the Mississippi, river, and its location and attractions, as well • as its. traditions,'May be of some Interest to the general reader. The city, for it still preserves its corporate character, is located on the east; side of the Mississippi river, twelve miles above Keokuk, and thirty-two miles below Burling , ten. To reach Nauvoo the traveler leaves the train on the Burlington di Railroad at Montrose, a little station opposite the old town, and at the head of the lower rapids of the Mis sissippi.. The river is a tulle and admit' in width at this point, but very shallow, except in the highest stages of water. • I crossed the river in the " regular ferry boat.", a tolerable skiff, and on landing Inquired,the way to the residence of Major Hymn', the nts band of the " martyred" .11ormon Prophet's widow. (letting the proper direction, I fol lowed down the bank of the river for a short distance, and then turned up a broad street or road which leads Into the town. On the way' up to Main streed passed quite a number of unfinished brick buildings, which I afterward learned had heed started in 1843. The old • Walls are' n a remarkable State of preservation. Reaching Main street, I turned to the right,and passing down it one square,carne to the " Nan voo Mansion House," the old residence of the Prophet Joseph Smith, and the present resi dence of his widow, Mrs. Bycum. I stopped before entering and made a survey of the ex ten or of the building. The house is a frame, two storie4 high, with five or six additions added on the rear end and north, side, which gave the whole the air of an old German man sion, filled with all sorts of little corners, dark attics'and sharp angles on the outside. The, • front is relieved by a narrow , portico, which covers the main or hall entrance. Near by, on time conier of the block, stands a post from which is suspended the old sign " Mansion House of Nauvoo." Entering the " office," a small room on the left' ide of the hall, I saw Major L. C. Bycum, the present head of the concern, seated at a small table with three young boys, playing a game of "seven up." I explained the object of my visit, and asked the Major to show me around. He expressed a willingness to do so, but complained of a severe attack of rheuma tism, which disappeared at once upon my ask ing him if he bad beard of the proposition to • remove the Capitol to this city. rHe was ready in a few minutes, and we sallied forth to in spect the city. Yantis* was laid Out in 1838-39: the land having been deeded to Mrs. Smith, and by her to Joseph Smith, In trust for the church. The lots contained one acre each, making four acres to the block. At the time of the evacua tion of the city by the Mormons, it contained about four thousand houses, not more than live hundred of which are left. Passing up Main street, we came in front of the house occupied by Brigham Young. The house is built of brick, is two stories high, and wears a very dilapidated look, never having been painted. It, contains seven small rooms, and even for Nauvoo is quite an ordinary building. Young was only an elder in the church then, and an adventurer among the MOrmons. On the opposite side of the street stands the house in which Brigham's brother lived, when here. It is a neat building, with a square roof sur mounted -by an observatory. These two buildings and the " reception house" are the only ones of note left standing on the level plain which extends from the hill or bluff to the:river. THE: SITE OF THE TEMPLE is the best point on the hill from which to see the whole city. and take in, at a glance, all the magnificent beauty cif the landscape. The Mississippi river makes a semi-circular curve to the west. from the upper side of the city, around to the south side, almost directly to the south of the point from which it turns to the west, and the city, six miles square, covers all the ground within this half circle. Near the centre of the city, on the highest point of the bluff, stood the temple of the "Latter Day, Saints." Standing upon this point, the eye takes in at a single sweep the entire plat of the city, following down the gently sloping hill to the river on three sides, and eastward for seve ral smiles across the level plain. To the south ward the view of the river is uninterruptedfor .eight Miles, and for more than half that dis tance to the northward. 'I can not describe the natural beauty of the landscape, nor do I think any description could do the subject full justice. The slopes of the hill, which were once covered with residences and business houses, are now covered with vineyards, with here and there an old ruin or a residence. THE TEMPLE is among the things of the past, not a single stone of the building being left to mark the pia& where it stood. It was inclosed by a stone wall eight feet in, height, a portion of which is still remaining, but as the public have use for these stones they will be caned away. The binding is Saidleiliave lieen a magnificent • structure, one hundred and twenty-seven feet lang,,eiglity,six feet wide and sixty feet high to the top of the cornice. The spire was one !mu cked and sixty feet, high, and surmounted by a beautiful gilt globe, above which was erected a gilt angel. The temple was burned by incen diaries on the night of the 18th of October, 'nearly four years after the Monne:ls had left Nauvoo. The vandals were never • dis covered until a few years ago, when a dying woman revealed their names and stated that they were employed by citizens of Warsaw, a town in Hancock county, to burn the building. After the-burning the walls were taken down, and several large stone buildings erected out of them.' - The cost of the temple Was one million of dollars. but it was not quite completed when Smith was killed .in June, 18-14, though the corner-stone was laid on the Oth of April, 1841. 7,11}: ARSENAL, which was the depositary of the arms of the " :cativo() Legion," is still standing, being used as a pthate residence by Mr. - Baum, an exlen- -sive wine-grower. This building stands near the site of the temple, is built of white stone, and istll;ec stories high: Near it is the old powder it ngazine, which Mr. Baum has War vented into a wine cellar. Near the arsenal I was shown the place where, Boggs, the Mis sourinn. 'Wag , killed. Oa ittle circumstance which led to the arrest and subsequent death of the Prophet. The Mormon side of the story is that smith was drilling the Legion, and, during .some- of the exercises with their arms, one was accidentally diScharged, and Boggs was no mgre. The cry was raised throughout the adjoining counties that Smith had 'ordered him to be shot,and,upon this rumor, the Latter Day PrOphet Was 'arrested and, lodged in jail in Carthage, Where he was murdered by a mob. , • • • After the Mormons Went away the houses and property were occupied by: squatters, who subsequently purchased it from Mrs. Bycum (➢irs. Smith), the original sale by Smith having been declared void by the Courts. Joseph Smith, Jr., who would probably have fallen heir to the city, is now residing at Plane, -a beautiful little town on the Chicago, Burling b it mad Quincy Railroad. AS A SITE FOR THE CAPITAL Nauvoo is unequalled by any locality in the West. The beautiful white granite with which the Mormon Temple was built was„...qturrried within two miles of the temple sitx3; and there is enough left to build a dozen cities. - The vast coal fields of Illinois begin at ' , Tank*, while the .?.: , ' , .:tirt... 01( . 1 a,5Y.01 , P,1i - ! - ..S. , :t.!Z.X; , ZTINP.

I Stormy sericite in she Hoiden it'ounell. A correspondent of the London Tames writes from Borne that: , • , .1 I ought to have, told, you more of what I saw and beard on Tuesday, for, as now appears, it Wag something out" of. the way. The voices ware very loud •3 the bell rang several tithes ; there was a'false breakup; the doors opened, the Swiss Guard, the servants of the bishops and cardinals 7-4: best of • them—and a con siderable crowdof people all hastened to the entrance of the Council Hall; the doors were closed again, and remained closed for ten minutes ; then out came the Fathers, all ex cited, some looking determined, most very uncomfortable. I did not write all this, be cause if nothing'came of it I should have been presenting you with a tuare's nest. But here is the explanation. The speaker was G'hilardi, Bishop of Mondosi, the r same mail who same years ago preached in the Duomo at. Milan, and gave such offence that a bomb - was fired under the pulpit, llisspeechswas a studied and very unsparing philippic against the leaders of the 'Opposition. The tone at first was that of a homily, paternal and Unc tuous, but Ghilardi soon follOWed in a more natural - vein. Ile told the Galilean and :the Gerinan chiefs that they were creating discord in the Council, and then proelaithing it to all the world. This, he said, was intolerable, and an end must be put to it. Such men were converting a most auspicious design into a scandal and cause of offence. Ile charged them with pride, ignorance, and downright impudence—impudicizin—and, as far as , he could venture to say. it,,,with heresy. The:ob jects of his attack found it rather too much for their patience, and exclaimed, in a great variety of languages, that they had had enough of this, and would listen no more. The Le gate rang his bell several times, but each side took the rebuke as addressed to the other, and the more be rand his. hell, the louder Ghilardl declaimed, and the More, too, did the French' and Germans try to shout him down. They took to stamping on the floor and to beating the benches;--and I must remind you that among other privations the Fathers are sitting on hard boards covered with Brussels carpeting. Then all at once they rose up, as if to rush out of the ball, addressing angry ejaculations to the Italian as they passed the pulpit, and, it is posi tively asserted, shaking their fists at him—more likely the bundles of Schemata I saw them grasping, with something like a quiver of emo tion. .71t. the appearance of the flying crowd between the two screens, the door-keepers threw open the great doors, but by the time I bad got there, with , everybody else in the church, the doorS were closed again. The Le gate had managed to recall the fugitives, though the Aleclaimerwent on,and did goon, they say, even when the Council,atter a formal dismissal, was finally leaving the hail. This I give as I am told, but of course it must occur to every Englishman that after Dupauloup and Stross mayer had been allowed to have their say, it s% mild have been at least wise to let Ghilardi have his. But scandalous as the scene is .said to have, been, they tell me that something worse is likely to happen before long. WINES AND LIQUORS.
